I am purchasing a property in Goddington. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Goddington.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I own a leasehold flat in Goddington. Conveyancing was finished in 2009. I have been told that I should not let the lease length get too short. Why is that a problem?
Goddington domestic long term leases are for a prescribed term - usually ninety nine years when they are first granted. However many flats in Goddington were built or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have less than eighty years left to run. This may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions tend to need leases to have at least seventy five years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching eighty years. To optimize the saleability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are advantages to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
